Happening to listen to these 2 episodes on 9/11/25 that involving horrific gun violence from a horrible conservative lunatic asshole and short discussion of Charlie Kirk is.... uh, ironic. To say the least. And legit 100% unintentional.

I bet the kids were less likely to leave because that's all they ever knew. They didn't realize that what was happening was distinctly not true Amish way of life. While parents with adult/young adult children were old enough to see that no, this is beyond what it is to be Amish. This is wrong. So they got out, back to the way of life they knew beforehand. If this were a more mainstream modern family in a community where religion was less dictating of their life, it may be the other way around.

The voice is on that tape actually sound like a piece out of the podcast two hot takes. is it possible that the phone just started playing the podcast for a moment rather than it being voices from outside the phone? just a suggestion considering odd things like that happen all the time :-)
